The CloudZero platform features a tiered, consumption based pricing model. We place each customer in a spend tier depending on their expected total annual cloud spend that allows us to manage their cloud spend up to a certain amount at a flat rate. We do not charge monthly overages in an effort to maintain consistent, predictable pricing for our customers as their environment changes.
